Default Can this be trouble?

When the truck (Savage LE) is totally off (no power and engine is not running), and I give it a push it does not run freely. It gets stuck. If I push it again it runs and then gets stuck again. There is nothing wrong when I start-up the engine and drive the truck. Is this a sign of trouble or is there nothing to worry about? Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm quite new at this. Could it be the slipperclutch? The correct screw to adjust the gear shift is the bottom one of the two holes?

This started happening after I adjusted the gears to shift earlier (3 x counterclockwise)...

id say its the differentials. it will move a bit then get stuck coz when it moves a bit its using the undamageg tooth and when the gears hit the damage tooth, it gets stuck.

nope, did not shim the differentials. I adjusted the brakes and so far it seems to work....
